With MineAlpine we also understand that it is important to keep your conveyor belt system in operation. This is used for smooth movement of materials in the mines. You can follow a few simple steps to ensure that you’ll get the most life out of your conveyor belts and prevent costly issues.
Routine Maintenance and Inspections for Optimal Performance
One of the greatest gifts you can give to your belt is to take care of it regularly. This involves examining for any damage, such as tears or rips in the belt. By catching these problems early, you can fix them before they worsen and the belt breaks.
Proper Method of Conveyer Belt Installation
Another piece to keep in mind when considering how to make your conveyor belt last is install it the right way. Proper tools and techniques are necessary to ensure the belt conveyor is tight and runs smoothly. Devoting the time to put it in right can also prevent some wear and tear that might cause it to wear out faster.
Conveyor Belt Workers on the Job Training
It is very important, as well, to train the workers in contact with the conveyor belt conveyor. They also must know how to operate that equipment in a manner that is both safe and proper so as not to damage the contraband-filled belt. The more you invest in training for your team, the more you help your employees find ways to use the conveyor belt so it has a longer lifespan.
Inspection of Belt Tension and Tracking
It is very important to keep the right tightness and track in your conveyor belt for longer life and to prevent fast wear. Frequently inspecting how tight the belt is and adjusting it as necessary can prevent slipping and friction that might cause the belt to wear. And you also help to prevent misalignment, which can lead to added wear and tear.
The Use of High-Quality Material for Conveyor Belts
Finally, investing in quality material and parts for your belted conveyor should go a long way to extending its life. You can prevent fast wear and damage by selecting sturdy materials that can withstand the often brutal conditions in a mine. High-quality parts such as the pulleys and rollers aid in the smooth operation of the belt.
